Christine Bleakley Follows Adrian Chiles to ITV

Adrian Chiles left the BBC back in April this year as he was unhappy with changes to the format of the One Show. At the time it was rumoured that Chiles had tried to persuade his co-presenter Bleakley to move over to ITV with him and now it appears that this is the case. After being unable to make a decision about whether to stay with the One Show, the BBC withdrew their offer to Bleakley and she has now agreed to a three year deal with ITV, which will see her paired back up with Chiles to present a breakfast show. She will also be involved in presenting some prime time entertainment shows.
